Mamp won't start the servers

I installed the mamp, created the website in wordpresss, shut down my pc and now mamp wont start.

There is some issue with SQL, it says on the mamp admin this:
MySQL said: Documentation

Cannot connect: invalid settings.
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

Please help.
Thank you

I don't use MAMP, myself but on my XAMPP local server, there's a setting to switch on SQL services as well as Apache. That's what opens access to phpMyAdmin. Maybe you need to switch on a setting like that for it to work.
